The Cowsills, Rhythm of the World (Omnivore) - The first videos for their 1998 Global album snuck out in the early 1990s, surprising fans with how the former '70s family band had evolved into mature indie musicians. That gap was a mere 20 years. It's now been another 30 years since those videos. Two Cowsills brothers have passed from the scene, while kid sister Susan often does the heavy lifting. Some tracks like "Nuclear Winter" and the title track carry some stressed social awareness, but the overall feel is that the remaining trio of the family have aged with more grace than anyone might have expected.
